Commonwealth v. Dunan
128 Mass. 422
Mass.
1880
Check Treatment
By the Court.

These exceptions cannot be sustained. The provision made by the St. of 1877, c. 200, for an autopsy by a medical examiner, does not render other competent evidence inadmissible. The inquiry as to “ the history of Bridget Walters ” does not appear to have been material. The statement of the deceased was not shown to have been a dying declaration, and was rightly rejected. Exceptions overruled.
